General Information General Safety Information this manual. Also follow procedures listed on the “Gas Equipment Start-Up Sheet” located in this manual. Use only the fuel for which the heater is designed (see rating plate). Using LP gas in a heater that requires natural gas, or vice versa, will create the risk of gas leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning and explosion. Note: IMPORTANT! Do not attempt to convert the heater for use with a fuel other than the one intended. Make certain that the pow

Installation Do not install unit heaters in corrosive or flammable atmospheres! Premature failure of, or severe damage to the unit will result! Note: IMPORTANT! Avoid locations where extreme drafts can affect burner operation. Unit heaters must not be installed in locations where air for combustion would contain chlorinated, halogenated or acidic vapors. If located in such an environment, premature failure of the unit will occur! Since the unit is equipped with an automatic gas ignition s

Installation MOUNTING HEIGHT: Unit Heaters must be installed at a minimum of 8 feet (2.4m) above the floor, measured to the bottom of the unit. At heights above 8 feet (2.4m), less efficient air distribution will result. Occasionally unit heaters must be mounted at heights of 12 to 16 feet (3.7 to 4.9m) in order to clear obstacles. When this is the case, it is advisable to use centrifugal blower unit heaters. AIRCRAFT HANGARS: Unit Heaters must be installed in aircraft hangars and public

Gas Supply Piping WARNING Flammable Vapors! When connecting to existing gas lines be sure to valve off the gas supply ahead of connection point. To avoid explosion or possible fire, always purge all residual gas from piping before cutting into existing line or removing threaded fittings. Failure to remove all gas vapors could result in death or serious injury or equipment or property-only-damage.
